Chapter 44: The Private Room Is Occupied
The receptionist, visibly impatient, said, "Let me warn you, the person on the top floor is one of Jiangcheng's famous rich second generation. If you really offend him, you might be in trouble."
Xiao Feng scoffed, "I don't care how many generations of wealth he has. All I know is that he's occupying a room that should be ours. Now, he's going to get out of there for me."
Seeing that Xiao Feng and his companions wouldn't listen, the receptionist also got a bit angry. Since you're asking for trouble, then so be it.
With this thought in mind, she picked up the phone on the desk and started dialing.
Zhou Jiwen completely didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so direct and couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.
After pulling Xiao Feng aside, Zhou Jiwen whispered, "Why don't we just let it go? Better avoid trouble when we can. The rich second generation doesn't matter, but most of them have strong backgrounds. Provoking one is like provoking a whole bunch."
Xiao Feng smiled, "Uncle, if I remember correctly, you weren't this type of person when you were young."
"That's why they say the older you get, the more useless you become," Zhou Jiwen said self-mockingly. "The more experiences you go through, the more timid and fearful you become."
At that moment, the elevator doors opened.
Six men dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses, looking like bodyguards, escorted a man in a white suit out.
The seven of them walked with heads held high, their steps in unison, looking very imposing.
Zhou Jiwen, who was behind Xiao Feng, turned pale suddenly upon seeing Duan Li, "Why is it Duan Li?!"
The name Duan Li was quite well-known in Jiangcheng's wealthy circles. His family was in real estate development, making them fairly powerful in Jiangcheng.
Although they couldn't quite match the Shen Group, overall their strength wasn't weaker than the Lanyue Group, and might even surpass it a bit.
"Who told me to get out?" Duan Li, who was in the middle, shouted loudly.
"It was me!" Du Qingyue stepped forward first, confronting the seven, her aura not weakened at all.
"Oh, isn't this President Du?" Duan Li was first surprised to see Du Qingyue step out, then said exaggeratedly, "You all know President Du, right? The Du family's daughter, who was recently jilted by the Shen Group."
As soon as these words came out, the lobby suddenly buzzed with whispering and pointing at Du Qingyue, even with a few chuckles here and there.
"You've occupied our room for so long, aren't you going to apologize?" Du Qingyue said coldly, anger in her tone.
There's a saying, don't hit someone's face or expose their shortcomings. Being pointed at in public would make anyone angry.
The distant staff started whispering among themselves, "Is that person crazy? Actually asking Duan Li to apologize?"
"What do you know? Don't be fooled by her being a woman, but she's the president of the Lanyue Group. Just wait, this is going to be a good show."
"You want me to apologize?" Duan Li laughed loudly, "Did you get the Shen Group to apologize when they unilaterally broke off the engagement?"
Du Qingyue was so angry her face turned pale. For the other side to cling to this matter so persistently truly made her feel she's losing control of her temper.
At this moment, one of Duan Li's bodyguards looked at Du Qingyue and said, "If the Shen Group doesn't want you, you could consider our boss. While you wouldn't be the main, being a concubine shouldn't be an issue."
After saying this, the group burst into laughter.
Du Qingyue could no longer suppress her anger, but just as she was about to erupt, everything turned into a blur in front of her eyes, followed by a miserable scream, "Ah!"
The black-suited bodyguard who had mocked her was now five meters away, clutching his stomach and wailing, while Xiao Feng stood protectively in front of her.
"Keep your dog in check!" Xiao Feng looked at Duan Li and said coldly, "I'll give you two seconds to consider. Either apologize or be carried out of this hotel today."
Duan Li snapped back to his senses and laughed outright, "When you're lying in the hospital, I'll make sure to properly apologize."
With that, he waved his hand, and a black-suited man charged at Xiao Feng aggressively, his five fingers forming a claw, poised to go for a throat lock.
Xiao Feng seemed disappointed, shaking his head as he stood his ground without moving an inch.
"Is that guy scared stiff?" commented an employee holding a mop. "He doesn't even dare to move."
The person next to him nodded, "I think so too."
Both Du Qingyue and Zhou Jiwen felt a tightness in their hearts, unable to help but worry for Xiao Feng.
However, just when everyone thought the conflict had no suspense, Xiao Feng suddenly moved.
Right as the black-suited man's hand was about to reach him, Xiao Feng shifted a whole body-width to the left.
The black-suited man's eyes widened, completely unprepared for Xiao Feng to react so swiftly in such a short time.
In retrospect, he wasn't scared stiff; he was brimming with confidence.
Before the black-suited man could react, he felt his breath catch and his throat seemed clamped by iron claws, as if life could end at any moment.
The four bodyguards around Duan Li became visibly serious, all being ex-special forces with strength and keen eyes far exceeding ordinary people. Naturally, they could see that such a quick response from Xiao Feng required incredible physical aptitude.
Individually, there was no way they could beat him one-on-one.
Having concluded this, they quickly supported their injured companion together and rushed on from different directions, launching an attack on Xiao Feng, targeting vital areas.
Sternum, groin, neck, lumbar vertebrae.
These are some of the weakest parts of the human body. If hit, no matter how strong, they'd be done for.
Facing such a formation, Xiao Feng displayed a smile, one that sent chills down the spine of anyone who saw it, perceiving a sense of danger.
The next moment, Xiao Feng unleashed his power, hurling the black-suited man he held like a sack, striking one of the four men.
Immediately, without pausing, he turned and kicked the man in front of him in the chest. The man screamed miserably, flying back, clutching his chest and rolling incessantly, having broken two ribs.
The lobby erupted into chaos, filled with various screams, and the sudden reversal caught everyone off guard.
Five minutes later, all six bodyguards were down on the floor, the lobby fallen into dead silence, with no one daring to speak.
Under the watchful eyes, Xiao Feng said in a deep voice, "Being a soldier is a sacred profession, wielding guns to protect the country, undertaking dangers most people never see. I am willing to respect every soldier."
"But, when you take off your military uniform, choosing to be hired thugs for money, using what you've learned against those you once protected—doesn't that strike you as ironic?"
The lobby remained silent, and even the six black-suited bodyguards endured their pain, striving not to make a sound.
In fact, the moment the six men walked out of the elevator, Xiao Feng could see they had served, a special aura only those with military backgrounds could possess.
He indeed held back, otherwise, the injuries of the six wouldn't have been so light.
Duan Li was utterly stunned; for all six capable subordinates to be rendered ineffective in under five minutes felt surreal to him. Could someone this strong actually exist?!
Just as he thought, Xiao Feng's attention turned to him, smiling, "Now, it's your turn!"
Duan Li shuddered and instinctively wanted to retreat, but was too ashamed to do so in front of so many people. He forcibly held his ground and said, "If you dare touch me, I promise you'll regret it for life. Even if I can't get you, your family, your woman, will become my targets for revenge."
This statement caused an uproar in the lobby. Although people had heard about Duan Li's misdeeds, hearing such a despicable statement firsthand still infuriated them.
At the same time, they eagerly anticipated how Xiao Feng would respond.
